Wedding Traditions and their Meanings
- From bridal veils and wedding rings to best men and honeymoons, discover the surprising history, symbolism, and superstition behind the wedding traditions we still practice today.

Many husbands believe staying quiet during conflict keeps the peace.
They step back. Stop talking. Wait for the tension to pass.
But the argument may end while the problem remains.
Unspoken frustrations accumulate. Emotional distance grows. And resentment can quietly take root between two people who still love each other.
Stand in the Storm is a practical guide for husbands who want to break that cycle.
Drawing from real-life experience, Gary M. Roberts explores how husbands can remain calm, steady, and emotionally present when conversations become difficult—instead of withdrawing, becoming defensive, or allowing frustration to turn into anger.
Standing in the storm doesn’t mean winning an argument. It means learning to stay connected when walking away would be easier.
Inside you’ll discover how to recognize the damage caused by emotional withdrawal, address resentment before it becomes distance, communicate without escalating conflict, rebuild trust and emotional closeness, and become a steadier presence within your marriage and family.
Stand in the Storm is for the husband who loves his wife but senses that something between them has begun to drift—and wants to do something about it before silence becomes separation.
You don’t have to avoid every storm to build a stronger marriage. Sometimes you simply have to learn how to stand in it together.
